Ep | 356

Feeling off but your doctor says your labs are “normal”? This episode breaks down the often-overlooked world of thyroid dysfunction and why so many people (especially women!) are walking around with symptoms they can’t explain. Erin dives deep into what’s really going on with your thyroid, the symptoms that often get brushed off, and why the conventional model of care may not be giving you the full picture.

From stress and nutrient depletion to liver health, toxins, and hormone imbalances, Erin explains the root causes that could be holding your thyroid hostage and what to do about it.

You’ll learn what a full thyroid panel should include, why postpartum women are particularly vulnerable, and how a whole-body, functional approach (including energy medicine) is often the missing piece in healing.

In This Episode:

  • Why there is so much misinformation right now around female hormones
  • The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism 
  • T3 is the key in thyroid health and it often goes untested!
  • How other hormones impact thyroid health and the importance of a comprehensive hormone analysis
  • The energy anatomy of the thyroid and the throat chakra connection
